It is so much easier to know the top, as in portupgrade -R gnome since it is obvious to anyone that the meta-port is the place to start. It is completely un-intuitive to expect anyone to do it in reverse, unless the port* tools provide the necessary clues, or some other file provides the clue, such as the meta-port, for instance? ># cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome ># make clean ># make install clean > > But this does not help for an upgrade. How do I know that the root of gnome is pkgconfig, something which does not contain the word gnome anywhere in it? >I don't mean to sound difficult. I realize you're frustrated.
